Whoever wins the Presidency in 2028 should make Mark Kelly their Secretary of Defense, just so Kelly can prosecute Kegsbreath for his war crimes.

Don’t believe the lies, the people of Venezuela aren’t any better for it. How do I know, because we’ve done this all over the world for decades, and it’s always a disaster. We invade, we install a puppet government who will let our companies steal, then we fight a forever war to hold control.

Edmundo González Urrutia won the 2024 election in Venezuela. He was the choice of the people.
The Maduro-Delcy Rodríguez ticket stole power instead.
Now Trump says he is freeing the Venezuelan people by making Rodríguez his puppet.
So no, there is *nothing* to celebrate today.

ICYMI: Today, the United States of America, under the direction of a mentally unstable president, attacked Venezuela, a sovereign nation, kidnapped its leader and his wife, and declared they are now running the country.
It’s exactly as insane as it sounds.

No one who took Trump seriously believed for one second that he was going to engage in foreign policy actions any different than exactly what he has done.
We warned all of you. We told you who and what he was.
You didn’t listen.

lol as someone who made a similar decision in 2001, and have successfully made the military change my discharge status from code 3 to 1 after being kicked out for refusing to follow orders I am telling you that this is not an informed take you can literally fight legally… you still have rights 😭
Do ya'll think about the consequences of those military members if they do disobey orders even if it is illegal? Like yeah we'll cheer them on for doing the right thing but the consequences that'll hit them would devastate them for life.
And THIS is why I don't respect all members of the military cuz they go do shit like this without ever thinking of the harm it puts them and others in.
They don't disobey illegal orders, they just follow orders, period.

Words cannot describe the absolute power of this paragraph
"A woman dressed as a pink Power Ranger hacked a dating site for far-right extremists. She deleted the entire site, but first she made users fall in love with AI bots she ran, thus obtaining information about them. Over 8,000 far-right profiles have now been mapped."
En kvinna, utklädd till rosa Power Ranger, hackade datingsida för högerextrema. Hon raderade hela sidan, men först fick hon användarna att bli kära i AI-botar som hon drev och fick på så sätt ut information om dem. Över 8000 högerextrema profiler har nu kartlagts.

DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.

What a relief to see 2025 in the rear-view mirror. Count me among those optimistic that 2026, America’s 250th anniversary year, will be the opportunity to prove that most Americans won’t let a depraved and malignant despot destroy our beloved country and end our democratic project.
Happy New Year!

Trump allowed the richest man in the world to condemn potentially millions of people to death. In a just world, this moral atrocity would follow all involved — Musk, DOGErs, Vought, Marco Rubio and Trump — like a trail of blood for the rest of their days.

This isn't just about taking down Trump anymore, this is about taking down the oligarchy that has enabled this behavior. And MAGA and ICE etc. are all just extensions of this behavior - the willingness to ruin lives because you think you are somehow superior.

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.
